I used the name with a coach-run program I had in Bay City years ago. Decided to bring it back. The idea came from a club team I was on in junior college.
Steve Lochte coached the college teams and started a club program at Monroe C.C. in Rochester, N.Y. Four (4) of us college guys went to a small spring club meet as the MCC Marauders and brought home a third place trophy, the first in the young team's history.
Not long after that, the team really took off. There was plenty of both quality and quantity. The team began winning area swim meets and soon became a New York state powerhouse program.
That's where Ryan and his sisters got their start.
The Lochte's left for Daytona, Florida in the late 90's and the rest...well if you follow swimming much, you know the rest!
p.s. Steve told me last week that they're coming to Austin for nationals (Nov. 29 - Dec. 1). Might be a good meet to go watch, right?
p.p.s. If that one doesn't fit your schedule, UT's hosting the Big XII Conference meet (Feb. 27 - Mar. 2).
p.p.p.s. If that one doesn't fit your schedule, UH's hosting the Conference USA meet (Feb. 20 - 23). Nope, never mind, that's the same weekend as UIL state meet...
